Among the many species of the old genus Languria with a 

 })lack head, very few are yet described, perhaps owing to the 

 difficulty of identifying those that are, because authors have 

 overlooked the most important characters. This species is super- 

 ficially like L. atriceps, Grotch and L. fucosa, Lewis from Japan. 

 From botli, the wholly Idack legs will separate it; in addition, 

 in comparing this insect with the former {L. atriceps) I observe 

 that the antennae have the second to the sixth joints more 

 elongate, the remaining five form a very much more laxly jointed 

 club. The underside of the head is yellowish , — i.e. tlie gular 

 part and mentum. The prothorax is shorter, lighter in colour, 

 and smoother. The abdomen is glaljrous, in the middle on the 

 sides of the first two segments a group of rather larger deep 

 punctures is present, but much fewer on the second than the 

 first (in L. atriceps large punctures are scattered over the whole 

 venter). Abdominal lines are present in L. atriceps, though not 

 mentioned, but they are not so long as in A. karemcus; the 

 eyes are similar i. e. moderately facetted and a little prominent 

 in both. A very considerable , and on the whole uniform series 

 were obtained l)y Sig. L. Fea, but those from Garin Ghet-ù are 

 all small, and have the thorax rather more distinctly punctured, 

 than in the type, it is however of the same short subquadrate 

 form.
